About SpellJam - Spelling Practice
What if your kid ASKED to do spelling homework? SpellJam was built by Graham and his 10-year-old daughter Lily because spelling homework was boring. Together, they made the app Lily actually wanted to use — and now it's helping families everywhere turn dread into a highlight of the day. HOW IT WORKS Add your child's weekly spelling words — type them in, snap a photo of the homework sheet, or speak them aloud. SpellJam then guides kids through a proven cycle: Study Mode — Hear each word, study it with 3D animated flashcards Practice Games — Spell words letter by letter with real-time audio feedback Weekly Test — Simulate the classroom test in a calm, encouraging environment Progress Tracking — Watch mastery grow from Learning → Practicing → Mastered → Retained The app focuses extra practice on words kids struggle with and eases off on ones they've nailed. It actually adapts. FOR PARENTS • Works with your child's real weekly spelling list — not a generic word bank • Set up in under 2 minutes • Works completely offline — no wi-fi needed during practice • No ads, no tracking, no data sharing — COPPA compliant • See exactly which words need more work before the test FOR TEACHERS • Share word lists directly with students • Students practise the exact words you're teaching • Works alongside any spelling curriculum FEATURES • Sparky the Dragon — a virtual companion who grows with your child • Voice input using Apple's Speech framework (processed on-device) • Camera word capture — point at a homework sheet, words are added instantly • XP points, streaks, and achievements to keep kids motivated • 90+ built-in curriculum words across grades K-5 • Multiple game modes: Weekly Practice, Speed Challenge, Boss Battle OUR STORY In 2024, Graham's daughter Lily told him spelling homework was the most boring part of her week. Graham is a developer. Two months later, SpellJam existed. Lily was its first (and most demanding) tester. If something wasn't fun enough for a 10-year-old, it didn't ship. That's still the standard today. Download SpellJam and turn this week's spelling list into tonight's favourite game.
